The Tradesman says that among the
Hmost important features OF the industrial
revival of the past year are large num-
Der of furnaces set up in Alabama and
/ Tennessee, the erection of two steel and
wrought iron mills In CHATTANOOGA, the
organization of coal mining companies
IN Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina
and Kentucky, the esta blIshment of large
ktove factories in Alabama and Tennes-
Bee, and extraordinary development of
the lumber business in every Southern
State.
THE YEAR IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
CHARLESTON, 8. c., Dec. 31.-The News
and Courier Will publish tomorrow an
Elaborate review of the agricultural and
industrial development Of South Carolina
during the past year. In an editorial
] analysis it says: In manufactures the
results are magical and marvellous. The
number of manufacturing establishments
in the State has increased from 1880 in
1860 to 3,242 in 1886. The capital
has increased from $6,93l, ,756
10 S21.327,97 The number of
Nands employed is 33,37S in 1885. against
k.N904 In 1850, and S,140 in 1870. The value
~ the products is $29, ,951 sol. Cotton
rs give employment now to 4SS9 per-
1t is estimated that the value of
<,ricultural and garden productions
66 was $44, 109, sol, and the value of
one was nearly the value of the cot
up. There is food for thought in this,
sz.there is still more in the table which
.xives the gross value per acre of the prin-
sipal crops in the State.
=, COTTON NO LONGER KING.
Cotton is no longer king, at least In
aouth Carolina. Irish potatoes lead the
list with value of SSS per acre, as
lga1nst liz for cotton. But even in these
igures there is solid ground for the doc
jrine which the News and Courier ad-
Fanced many years ago, viz: that in no
place in The world is the gross product of
the soil as. large in proportion to
the ma.ket value OF the land
as in South Carolina. Land
which will produce $12 worth OF
potion to the acre can be bought in South
Carolina for from S. to SIP per acre. This
beats wheat farming in the West or gold
thinning for that matter. The total reve-
Asue OF the people OF the State has steadily
Ahcreased in spite of the uniform decline
~ln the market prices. The total value OF
he farm products @ OF the State last year
Nyas $44, ,109,50l. This is very nearly as
Mnuch as the value of the farm products
n 1860.
~ BIG GAIN.
Add to the agricultural products the
Foducts in the different branches of
manufactures and the products OF the
mines and quarries, and it is evident
hat the total income of the people from the
bree sources must amount to 30 per cent.
hore than the amount in 1860, when the
lave system was supposed to make the
tate 80 prosperous. The outcome of it
lalmost amazing. Taking the popula-
bn of South Carolina as 703, 70S in 1860
Id 100000 in 1885, the average gross
home OF each person in the State was
ST in 1860 against $40 in 1886
Here is deep significance in
bse figures, which, moreover, take no
dcount OF the mercantile business OF the
tate. Were the amount of general busi-
hess added it would be reasonable to say
aat the gross income OF the people OF
Suth Carolina-this means of living and
spending--is considerably more than 1t
as in 1860.
